This was my first time meeting Dr. Young after recently moving from [location removed]. When I was in the waiting room, I was already called In within minutes to begin my appointment and it was the fastest I'd ever had. Dr. Young was incredible, respectful, and asked thoughtful questions and provided information. [Details removed for patient privacy] Quickest wait time I'd ever heard of, very respectful and thoughtful interactions, and already receiving the care I need.

I love Dr Brandon Young, he is the best doctor I have ever had. Everyone at this office has been wonderful. It's been a rough 3 months for me and without Dr Young it would of been even harder.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Young is an excellent care provider, I count myself lucky to have been placed in his capable hands. He is clear, succinct, and seemed to be completely engaged and present, knowing my details and careful to put me at ease. Finally; I believe he went above par by QUICKLY and kindly problem solving for me in ways that he could easily have deferred from. Further more almost all of my Legacy interactions have been more than satisfactory...especially compared to other experiences I could recall. Thank you Dr Young.

My prior physician moved out-of-state. This was my 1st visit wit Dr. Young. Very personable but listened well and was very perceptive. I'm a complicated pt. It was clear he had reviewed my record in depth. I had some questions. He had well thought out answers. Gave me referrals to physical therapy & vascular surgeon. I came out of the visit VERY happy & destressed. There was no stress meeting Dr. Young!

Great doc
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I thought nurse Tammy who started my visit was wonderful. She made me feel at ease while carefully doing the pre-doctor portion of my visit. As soon as Dr. Young stepped into the room, I felt very comfortable and at ease. Dr. Young is very good at asking questions as well as providing helpful information. This was my first visit with Dr. Young to establish a new primary care provider for me. I am looking forward to have Dr. Young as my main doctor.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young AND his staff are very easy to talk to, caring, concerned and open to any comments or questions. I feel I have found my primary physician for the long term.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I made an appointment over the phone for an annual routine visit. I was not informed that on the basis of my insurance I should make it for after the one-year anniversary of my last year's appointment. This should be standard practice for your staff.

Good visit, exam & exchange. Thank you!

The front desk employees were not as welcoming as I expected. They seem more interested in chatting with each rather than interacting with the patients. It felt like we were being processed rather than welcomed.

Good
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is amazing...he always listens to my concerns and is excellent at being willing to research and dig into issues that are not immediately clear. I never feel rushed or that my concerns are irrelevant.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I can only speak too highly of this Legacy Medical Group. I have never had a bad experience, find all staff and providers compassionate, caring and willing to let me be part of the team!! Hooray to you all!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is a kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable physician. I am so glad he ended up being my PCP. Highly recommend him.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
I felt the office itself was very impersonal and rushed. I can't believe a new patient appointment to establish care is only a half hour and most of the staff didn't seem to care how I felt. The doctor though was as thorough and helpful as he could be in the time given and I enjoyed the appointment itself.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
This was my first visit with Dr Young, I found him very professional yet very easy to talk to.

The doctor was intelligent and respectful.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
He was very informed and showed courtesy and kindness. I felt like I was important to him. I haven't seen a doctor like him in a long time. Other doctors could learn from him about how to care for and respect their patients.

Wasn't able to get rabies vaccinated, doesn't do gyno, waited 2 years for appt. Got rescheduled twice.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Young always makes me laugh which helps me feel comfortable. He listened to my health concerns and laid out options for me in a way that I could understand and answered all my questions. I left the appointment feeling validated and secure. I forget things really easily so having the instructions and notes that are specific and clear with phone numbers for the referrals he put in for me was so helpful.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Overall. I had a good experience with Dr. Young, and that's exceptional since I don't enjoy going to the hospital or seeing a doctor. I do enjoy my visit with Dr. Young, because of his knowledge, kindness, honesty, and Respect he shows me. Which are all very important attributes in dealing with a ethnic minority. [removed to protect privacy] your institution is my favorite provider due to your empathy, compassion, and quality of care you provide to your patients.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is a excellent physician I have also treated with Dr. Lynn who is also an excellent physician. Promptness in the office is acceptable and about what I would expect from us medical facilities. Professionalism among all of the staff including the physicians assistant who did my initial work up was excellent and what I expected. From my perspective Dr. Young has always gone beyond the minimal standards even really beyond the best standards to help in any way possible including finding ways to afford drugs and other treatments. I appreciate his efforts.

Dr. Young has a great, easy-going manner that helps puts patients at ease. He is a good listener and I would recommend him to friends. His explanation of my medical tests was very thorough and clear.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
While I now realize that there is a difference in the type (wellness, problem, treatment) of visit influencing treatment and medicare reimbursement, the booking staff did a poor job of explaining and booked me In appointment that was Inappropriate. The MA's also explained It poorly to begin with. On presentation It Is more like trying to get the client to make a medical coding decision. Wellness visit It seems Is only talking about how well you are and no concerns or problems (new) are allowed. To me this is still ridiculous. I won't ever be talked into a wellness visit again. .
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
My first visit w Dr Young and he was excellent, great people skills too. Enjoyed meeting him.

Dr. Young is a strong asset to the Legacy group, despite being somewhat limited by its bureaucratic issues and "by committee" structure. (My comment, not his).
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr Young is a good listener. He is knowledgeable on the issues we discuss related to my health and shows personal interest in my physical well being. He is quick to respond to all my questions I post on the Legacy app. I highly recommend him to others as a well informed GP.

Dr Young listens well and has helped me with the pharmacist get my A1C down from9.3 to 6.1 and manage a diet that has let me lose ~60 lbs. Using my chart to communicate always get Buick response and direction on a course of action

Good
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
They were 2 receptionists at the desk when I arrived. The male receptionist was helping a patient, but the female one was not helping anyone and looked like she was just sitting there. She left me standing at the front of the line instead of calling me over to check me in. I had to wait until the man was free and called me over. Then she just looked at me, then turned away and just sat there looking around. Didn't look like she was doing anything. It delayed getting me in to see my doctor unnecessarily. Everyone else in the office, including the man that checked me in, was very helpful and friendly.

Overall I got a good result from this unit. Please ask Care Oregon to add Dr .Brandon Young (or Legacy Medical Group) as my PCP and submit new insurance card.

He listened carefully and fully answered my questions. Very pleased with the visit
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young listened to my concerns about foot pain. He referred me for a same-day x-ray and to a podiatrist. Though not a specialist in foot care he looked up information on his computer. We didn't discuss the Calcium scan I had paid for out of pocket. I forgot to mention it, but since the scan didn't show any problems, that is fine.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young always listens. He has excellent "bedside manner." Smiles, good eye contact. Very knowledgeable.

I called on [date removed] with an emergency and the doctor on call got back to me and was helpful. The central lab did not do one of the tests ordered. Dr young followed up and it got done quickly

Dr. Young delivers excellent medical advice, is compassionate, and listens well. He is a great addition to the Legacy Medical Group!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young saw me promptly about a health concern I had. He listened carefully, clearly had a good knowledge of my history, and provided a care plan that made good sense to me and has subsequently improved my health. He offered good follow up and also addressed a couple routine care items while I was there. I have already recommended him to friends and my wife has started care with him as well.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is great! He is attentive to my personal and medical history. He is responsive w/ orders and communicating via secure messaging. His team is friendly, polite, and respectful. I have no complaints and am very appreciative for their time and care.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is a wonderful doctor and went the extra mile with my husband; when his own doctor did not. Dr. Young had testing done the day of his appt. He would be dead now if not for Dr. Young.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
The lab draw visit was absolutely the opposite. They did not appear to be busy at all but I cooled my heels for a very long time - they were visiting with each other - fine but not to the extent that they did.I could not get x-rays ordered after the lab draw.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is at the pinnacle of professional performance! He always responds, cares about patients and is incredibly knowledgeable!
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Once an appointment can be made, the experience is good. But, this was a first visit and it took a long time to get in. Also, the Pacific Source website is misleading. In looking for a provider, I was focused only on those who was accepting new patients. However, most times, the provider was not accepting new patients when I called.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young is a very caring person and a pleasure to work with.
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Dr. Young and he's team are very responsive to the message feature on MyHealth. This is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Doctor listens well and is responsive in helpful ways. He Is down to earth and has a sense of humor. Importantly, he is honest about what he does not know and Is careful with his Notes. He does not seem to be overwhelmed by the complexity of my case. I knew right away he was The One. Finally!

I am very grateful that Dr. Young - and his colleagues at Good Samaritan accepted me into their care - after my previous clinic shut down during the pandemic, heroes - all!

Dr. Young was excellent! He was very knowledgeable, listened to me, explained the reasons for his diagnosis, and referred me to a specialist to further evaluate one of my health concerns. I feel like he is a person who naturally builds good rapport with his patients and other people. After my appointment he followed up with messages on My Health. I'd definitely see him again!!!! What a thoughtful and thorough doctor.

The office cubicle where the visit took place is a disgrace to Legacy. The floor is worn out and looks like it needs to be refurbished asap.A new coat of paint would also be helpful. Dreary surroundings are not conducive to feeling helped by medical professionals.

Dr Young was covering for my primary who had National Guard duty. I was there for a follow up after a pneumonia DX. I really appreciated how prepared he was being the first time we met. My negative experience has to do with the details of my visit summary. It showed my weight at 174 lbs which is not correct. I have worked hard to get out of the obese category to overweight and have accomplished that. I asked the nurse to covert my kg to lbs. She showed me it was 163.5. I am sure it was just a typo or somethingbut this is a sensitive subject and it was upsetting
Please comment on good or bad experiences related to your visit.
Doctor Is good at listening. He is prompt with following up on any questions or Issues I have asked, or emailed him about. If he didn't have the answer to any of my questions, at the time, he made sure to get one back to me promptly. I only had 1 problem on my last visit..when sent to the lab for a blood draw, per the doctor's instruction, it took 45 minutes. The lab said that they had to wait for specific instructions as to what blood tests the doctors office wanted ordered for me.

Dr. Young was very personable and easy to talk to. He is a good listener and asked appropriate questions. I saw him for a pre surgical visit for cataract surgery and I don't know how much of a physical exam is required. He did a brief cardiopulmonary exam.
